Chapter 1661 Contact Person
Lorraine gazed at Arielle in shock. How does she know that this is something important to the queen mother?
“You’ll be the contact person tomorrow,” Arielle said to Lorraine after ascertaining that the item in her hand was important to Nancy.
Lorraine was clever enough to understand her intention at once. “Now you know why I came back with you,” she said, feeling relieved when Arielle nodded.
“I’ll meet the contact person tomorrow night at ten. You just need to wait there.” At that, Lorraine took her tools and returned to her room happily.
Arielle glanced at her, somewhat dumbstruck. Sonia’s matter is still not resolved. How am I going to tell them?
Massaging her aching head, she returned to her room.
The next morning, Arielle’s phone rang, and she picked it up.
“Yes, yes, that’s right. It’s me. Yes, I only have one request. Yes, all right. I’ll await your word, then.” Despite the phone conversation lasting almost half an hour, those words were the extent of Arielle’s participation.
After she hung up, her head began throbbing again when she thought of Lorraine’s problem.
“Vinson, I’m going to Sonia’s.” As soon as Arielle finished, Vinson asked, “It’s about Lorraine?”
Arielle nodded. “Lorraine owes Sonia an explanation.” After all, Sonia has endured plenty of harm.
She had considered going alone and explaining the matter properly to avoid Lorraine’s sudden appearance from incurring their anger. Lorraine could not face their rage again.
However, Arielle dismissed the idea the moment it flitted across her mind.
Lawrence once helped my father, and he is now helping Aaron. Though Sonia is my friend, I cannot do something like that.
By the time she arrived at that thought, Arielle had arrived at her destination and was knocking on Lorraine’s door.
Lorraine had put away all of her wigs and male attire that day. Upon seeing her actual face, even Arielle, a woman, through and through, was mesmerized.
“What can I do for you, Boss?” Lorraine leaned against the door and looked at Arielle with raised eyebrows.
“You have to come with me to Sonia’s,” Arielle said, meeting the other’s gaze. “Only after resolving this matter can you be free from all this hiding.”
Aware that Arielle meant her well, Lorraine quickly agreed. There was no reason she should not go. The worst that could happen was enduring the general’s punishment. After all, she was responsible for bringing somebody with a penchant for theft. It was Lorraine’s mistake to which she was ready to own up.
Arielle smiled and heaved a small sigh of relief at Lorraine’s readiness to see Lawrence and Sonia.
She called Sonia after breakfast to inform her that she had had her breakfast and would be coming over. If Lawrence had nothing to do, Arielle added, he could stay a little longer as she had matters to discuss with him.
Sonia did not know what Arielle wanted to talk to her father about, but she passed the message to Lawrence anyway. Lawrence decided to wait at home for Arielle since he remembered his meeting that day would start at half past ten.
Sonia was already waiting at the door when the trio stopped outside the Wynter residence by nine. She stepped forward to grasp Arielle’s arm affectionately when she saw her friend.
Although the royal family had yet to recognize Arielle, she was the princess that Dylan himself recognized. Not intending to affront the princess, Lawrence came out personally to receive her.
“Sonia, General Lawrence, I am here today to—”
Before she could finish speaking, Arielle saw Sonia and Lawrence glaring ahead.
